For those companies still holding a Christmas party this year, you need to try and avoid issues relating to sexual harassment, and investigatory and disciplinary hearings for violence and other unacceptable behaviour. Prior to the celebrations it is worth reminding staff of the standards of behaviour that you expect from them and the consequences of failing to meet those standards. In addition to reminding staff about harassment policies you may also want to remind them of the need to be in work the next day, if it's a working day. The knowledge that a return to work interview will take place following sickness can be just enough to make sure they come to work. At the party itself, limiting the amount of free alcohol is another step that can reduce the risk of problems. A Christmas party is supposed to a celebration and you don't want to be trying to sort out problems afterwards.
